HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 3 (2019): Sequel Delayed By A Year

How To Train Your Dragon 3 Release Date Pushed Back

The announcement means that the How To Train Your Dragon sequel will be released much closer to Dreamworks‘ Everest, which Universal will also release in 2019. Originally, it was planned to release the film this year, but the studio opted to push it to 2018, making today’s decision the third time Universal has changed the release date and meaning that fans will have to wait three years before it hits theaters:

The much-anticipated continuation of one of the most beloved animated film franchises in history, How to Train Your Dragon 3 begins as Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) fulfills his dream of creating a peaceful dragon utopia, Toothless’ discovery of an untamed, elusive mate draws the Night Fury away. When danger mounts at home and Hiccup’s reign as village chief is tested, both dragon and rider must make impossible decisions to save their kind.

Everest, meanwhile, takes audiences on a 3,000-mile journey from the exotic streets of Shanghai to the breathtaking Himalayan snowscapes. When a group of misfits encounter a young Yeti named Everest, they embark upon an epic quest to reunite the magical creature with his family at the highest point on Earth.

An aspiring writer, longtime film junkie, and former UCLARadio.com disc jockey (where I graduated with a BA in Political Science), I've made the jump from penning book reviews and current events editorials for HonorSociety.org to writing movie and TV news and reviews.

When I'm not working towards my certificate in Radio and Television/Video Production at Fullerton College, I enjoy reading (horror, science fiction, and historical/political nonfiction are particular favorites), participating in my school's TV and theatre clubs, attending movie screenings, plays, concerts, and other events, and trying to come up with pithy things to say on social media. Believe it or not, there are occasions where I find time to write for my own leisure.
